For all the hype about fuel cells, the reality of the matter is that the ‘hydrogen economy’ is a LONG way off. But hybrids are here now, And, a recent study headed up by The Argonne National Laboratory, as reported on here by Car and Driver’s Patrick Bedard, shows that, it total ‘well-to-road’ cost. diesel-hybrids are the cheapest.

Of course, the soot produced by diesels is pretty nasty. But never fear: ultra-clean synthetic diesel – refined from natural gas, is right on the horizon.

BTW: If anyone can send me a link to that report, I’d love to look at it.
